I've been having the "turn signal stick" for some time now. Last weekend my turn signals, brake lights and sunroof all quit working @ the same time. thought it might be related to the flasher. All fuses look good.
Anyone else ever have a similar condition?
I'm not finding much in the search and my manuals aren't much help either.
TANKS!

Body Damage is Cool
No idea, ask Big Blue. It still sounds like a fuse or a connector that has come apart. What was the last thing you changed, modified, repaired, messed with, etc???
Perhaps that will give you an area in which to look.
I have an 87 that I drive thru mud and water and have yet to replace a light bulb.

I'm in the process of fabricating front and rear bumpers, been doing some welding on the frame but allways with the ground disconnected.

I had a flasher go out in an econoline van one time and it messed up the whole electrical system. Think I'll start there.
Also thinking it could be a connection common to the three. I'll have a look @ the schematic.

Roll Me Over
Bob, look at your flasher switch for the brake/turn signal problem. it is a known failure item, but most can be cleaned and made to function again with a little work. That being said, I always carry a spare with me in my stuff for the rig. Mine has never failed...but i know that if I didn't have a spare it would fail. As for the sunroof, I'll try to look at the wiring diagrams and get back to you on that one.

Thanks Kary,
I'm opening up the flasher as I write this.
I guess it's the timeing of the failures that is suspect, why the sunroof would quit @ the same time as the lights <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

OK
So, after spending most of the day chasing this light not working thing...
I cleaned the flasher, no help. I replaced the flasher, no help but the sunroof did have power to close <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> WHATEVER
But still no brake lights or turn signals. After a couple hours looking @ schematics in the Mitsu manual I thought I had better look @ the multipurpose fuse. So before I did this I have this thought <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> Perhaps I should try the hazard lights... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Now I feel realllllly Steupid.
FYI If your hazard light switch is adjar between on & off your turn signals and brakelights will not work.
I have a feeling the Navigator was playing in there before we left and I just did not notice until I needed the turn signal.
Hope this never happens to you.
I'm going to go have some chocolat now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
sorry to bother you

Sometimes it's the simple things that get you. I would have never thought of that. Did you get any work done on your bumpers? I want to stop bye and check them out.

no, I worked all day on that rear I was fabricating & it's just not right. Went to Z's today and bought a length of 6" channel, I'm going with your design.
BTY I saw a really cool front bumper on a TJ last weekend & took some pics. I'll be copying it for my front.
Give me a call, Lets go play tomorrow <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The Huckle berries are ripe and I remember seeing some @ the top of Slide Mtn <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I think I remember the trail to get there... This time we should air down and go up that shute & find the upper road <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
